my kid is happy in his AP science class and likes his buddies and no one in his immediate circle appears to be getting high to me, and I kind of know about those things, and moreover he is actually thinking about what happened in class and talking to me about it. We joke around about weird factoids from his AP us history class, and he likes discussing his day and he’s not anxious about it all and he reads.
fuck the API score. meaningless….all that matters is whether you find your own way.
